Since the posting of this video Zoho has finally started charging for it service. It remains FREE for 1-on-1web conferencing, and the monthly fees are very very affordable (starting at $12/month for 5).

Thanks for sharing Jerry. There is also www.yugma.com for webinars. If you have an engineering background you may know about it. I think it's a software you have to have on your computer but it was a 30-day free trial at the time. Great demo video.

Thanks so much for sharing this Jerry! My team could definitely use this. We currently use GoTo Meeting, but this will make it easy for the whole team to do presentations whenever and wherever they want.

This is awesome information. I've been searching for a free, user-friendly webinar service and your video was to-the-point and did Zoho a great service as a promo spot. I can't wait to implement this with my team. - Linda

We have done many improvements since our Beta launch. Notably, added Remote Assistance to support your customers, better performance etc.
As you noted correctly, we have also announced pricing a few months back, there is, of course a free edition for individuals.

And yes, there will also be a FREE trial (14 day or 30 day), with full features, multiple participants, voice conferencing etc. !!
Many thanks once again !

I'd like to conduct Webinars for my video biography company, but I'll need to be able to carry on two-way conversations with the attendees. Does Zoho have this capability? Also, if I play a video on my desktop during the Webinar, will attendees be able to see it?

From what I understand, most webinar services do not include VoIP. The only one I know of is GotoWebinar. Zoho does not have audio support. And since I posted this video Zoho's policy's changed. It's now Free for 1-on-1 webinar only.

Here's a new video I made regarding free webinar tools (a demo included)

I'm trying to find a way to conduct a research session with respondents which would involve a product demonstration and then ask questions to get feedback. I watched the video (very helpful) and read posts, sounds like zoho would not work because of audio. Would VNC, or Skype? Ideally I'd like the session recorded. Thoughts? Thanks so much!

Let's not forget to mention the benefit of travel savings. Gone is the need to purchase plane tickets or to fill a car up with gas. Not only is this a savings for the company but for the individual as well. It also creates a time savings as well. Gone is the worry of everyone arriving on time at the GoToMeeting. With the help of the web conference service, everyone simply needs to be in front of their gotomeeting review computer at the correct time. Depending upon the requirements that you have for your meeting will direct you to the type of web conferencing that you will need. Many companies offer you the opportunity to be able to record your meetings so that the participants can go back and view it at a later date and time.

This is pretty cool! Having webinars to meet with your team and clients is very much needed. I've tried dimdim.com as well but go to meeting and go to webinar like you've stated may be an option for those who want to spend in their budget. I'll be sharing this video with others on twitter and fb. Have a wonderful day!

While I was consulting in the Network Marketing industry and building marketing platforms I spoke with the team over at DimDim.com and also Vyew.com. I learned a lot about their systems.

Both are great products and free. For sharing your screen and doing a presentation like webinars I think DimDim is much better. Plus the ease of use in joining a webinar is simple.

Where Vyew shines is that it has the ability to create a notebook presentation where people can go back to the notebook anytime they want. So the notebook is persistent. For example, let's say you created a presentation, your prospect could look at the presentation, make notes, and then you could see where they had questions.

When I asked them about the lag between presenter and viewer they were only millisecond behind GotoMeeting. By now they are right on par.
